HVPD PDS Air™

**New** The PDS Air™ partial discharge surveying tool from HVPD represents the very latest in handheld PD test technology. Incorporating a unique combination of digital TEV-dB display and external airborne acoustic probes, the test unit provides the 'first-line of defence' for the early detection of PD activity in MV cables and plant from 3.3 kV to 45 kV. The test unit enables the user to carry out rapid, ‘look-see’ insulation condition testing through the unique combination of three PD measurement technologies: HFCT, TEV and Airborne Acoustic.

The PDS Air™ handheld test unit meets the requirements of both utility and industrial MV plant owners for a simple, portable, and easy-to-use handheld PD screening device for use by all operational staff in the substation. Suitable for rapid, PD ‘screening’ of MV metal-clad switchgear, power cables and other plant, the unit is recommended for use in Phase 1 of the HVPD 4-Phase PD Test and Monitoring Solution which requires PD pre-screening of 100% of the network.
